PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME
Because Plaintiffs’ requested relief is contingent upon Plaintiffs’ compliance with the abovementioned notice requirements, and because Plaintiffs did not present any evidentiary support to establish their compliance and, instead, the only evidence presented establishes noncompliance, the Court is not authorized to grant the requested relief on the present record. However, given that Defendant does not raise any defect with the notice she was provided, and because Plaintiffs assert (albeit without evidentiary support, see Memorandum, 4:9-10, 5:1-2) that they provided notice in accordance with section 6201, subdivision (a), the Court elects to grant a continuance to allow Plaintiffs an opportunity to serve and file proof of such compliant notice.
